ADF Foods Notifies Shareholders of Share Transfer and Unclaimed Dividend to IEPF
ADF Foods Limited will transfer unclaimed shares and dividends from FY 2019-20 to the IEPF by December 18, 2026. Shareholders must claim by December 4, 2026, to avoid transfer. Details are on the company website.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for unclaimed dividends and shares. It has a minimal impact on the company's operations or financial performance and primarily affects a small portion of shareholders.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of unclaimed shares and dividends to the IEPF. It does not contain any financial performance data or strategic changes that would indicate a positive or negative sentiment.
ADF Foods Limited has issued a notice to its shareholders regarding the transfer of equity shares and unclaimed dividends to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is being taken in accordance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the related IEPF Rules.
The company is preparing to transfer the first interim dividend declared for the Financial Year 2019-20, which has remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years, along with the corresponding shares. This transfer to the IEPF demat account is scheduled to occur within 30 days from the due date of December 18, 2026.
Shareholders who have unclaimed dividends and whose shares are liable for transfer to the IEPF have been notified individually and are given an opportunity to claim their unclaimed dividend by December 4, 2026. A list of such shareholders, identified by Folio Number or DP ID-Client ID, is available on the company's website, www.adf-foods.com. Failure to claim by this date will result in the transfer of shares and dividends to the IEPF without further notice. All future benefits on these shares will also be transferred to the IEPF.
For shares held in physical form, new share certificates will be issued and converted to demat form before transfer to the IEPF demat account, with the original certificates being cancelled. For shares held in demat form, the transfer will be executed directly by the Depository Participant(s). Shareholders are informed that no claims will be entertained against the company after the transfer. They can claim their shares and dividends back from the IEPF by obtaining a Letter of Entitlement from the company and submitting an online application (e-Form IEPF-5).
